i was using bulbs like that last week and my 4 week old plants were stretching too. but i switched to cfls and now the nodes are growing more compactly, switch the bulbs i think thats the problem. but im only a noob so =]

I would definitely agree that it's the type of bulb you have. If you are going the regular light bulb route why not try CFL's? Make sure they are in the range of 5300-6000k so that they provide the best spectrum for Veg.

Hi there !! No prob dude, Those lights are a joke and are not real grow lights. The best AND CHEAPEST lights u can veg with are fluorescents with a 6500k to 7800k color spectrum. K now get your skinny ass to walmart and buy you a 2 bulb 4ft light fixture for 15 bucks. They sell 2 6500k 4ft bulbs for 9.99. So for 25 bucks you got all the light you need for up to 4 to 5 plants. If you want even closer nodes do like me and buy the "aqua plant" bulb they also sell in the same area at walmart, and put 1 of each color spectrum in your fixture.. Oh your welcome. Do that and you can grow plants like this......

Get rid of that light setup and use 1000 watts hps. Its good for everything.

yes you can use a 150 HPS for flowering; however and HPS bulb will need a ballast. (A ballast 'pulls' electicity from the line so that the bulb is able to 'obtain' as mush as it needs to run.)

If you are looking into a 150w ballast I would think it over, then choose not to do it.

I would go with a 250 minimum (personally i run a 400w) and get a digital ballast so that you can switch from Metal Hallide-MH(high blues induces vegitative growth) allong with High Pressure Sodium-HPS (low blue, high red and induces flowering/budding).

Lighting is critical for yield, and plant development. Therefor it is a critical point of investment.

You will be able to grow under what your growing it will just take about 6 or 7 months of work for a bullshit yield.
